“Let’s go look. The outside doesn’t need too much. We’ll still need a general contractor. I’m a lot of things, baby, but a GC isn’t one of them,” he says as he grabs my hand and we walk around the big two-story house.
We walk through what will be Eli’s room, and three other bedrooms. I get my hopes up, praying that we’ll have more than just one child running around. There’s one bathroom by those four bedrooms and on the other end of the hall is the master bedroom. Two heavy double doors open and it’s amazing. The craftsmanship is out of this world. There’s a wood burning chimney, a seating area, a huge closet, and an even better master bathroom. It even has a claw foot tub.
“You like it, Larissa,” Jake asks.
“I don’t like it. I love it,” I squeal as I jump into his arms. My back meets the wall in the bedroom and my hands dive into his hair as I kiss him.
Jake breaks our kiss, but holds me against the wall with his body as he says words that I will never ever forget. “I’m so thankful to have you in my life, so fucking happy you’re our boys’ mom, and I’m so lucky you’re mine. All mine. I. Love. You,” he says with conviction.
I’m in tears, they’re rolling down my cheeks and Jake watches me as I say those three words I’ve been holding back, but not anymore. No way, he deserves to know.
“I love you, with my whole heart, for my whole life.”
We kiss each other, my hands are fisting in his shirt to rip it over his head. He stops my hands and reminds me, “The realtor is down the hall.”
“Well, shit,” I say, and we laugh together until our rampant hormones calm down.
Chapter Twenty-Three
Jake
We sign the paperwork with the realtor, putting in a contract for the full asking price, and to close by the end of the month. Which is only in fourteen days, but this is where money talks and bullshit walks.
The realtor said he’d have an answer within twenty-four hours. He seemed hopeful. The house has been on the market for a few months and in this climate, that’s too long.
We’re back home, well really, the condo. Walking in, it felt more like a home with Eli and Larissa here. We’ve just outgrown it. A one bedroom and one-bathroom condo just isn’t working anymore.
“How’d house hunting go?” Mom asks, as soon as we enter the front door.
“It went great. We put an offer on a house. Now we just wait to see if they’ll accept,” I tell her. Larissa is already on the move to the pack and play. She looks down and I see the joy in her face when Eli looks up and sees his mom.
She picks him, placing him on her chest. She sits down in the rocking chair we picked up from Target after Eli was born, unbuttons her shirt, pulling her bra out of the way, and he latches on instantly.
“That’s great news, you guys. Keep us posted and we’ll help as much as possible,” she says.
“Thanks, and thank you for watching Eli,” I tell her.
“Oh, he was a bundle of joy. Barely made a peep of a noise,” mom tells me as she goes to the front door, “I better get going. Mack wants to go to the country club tonight and play cards with the old folks.”
“Don’t have too much fun,” I chuckle, as I walk her to the door and kiss her cheek.
“Love you guys,”
“Love you too,” Larissa says.
“Love you, Mom,” I watch her walk to the elevator and wait until she’s safely inside before I turn to shut the door.
“I loved having our time together, but I really missed Eli. Apparently, so did my breasts,” she snorts.
“I missed the little guy, too. It wasn’t the same without him,” I agree with her.
I stand beside her and massage the back of her neck. She moans, it instantly has me hard and wanting more of what we started but couldn’t finish.
She helps Eli unlatch from one side and puts him on her other breast. She leaves the one she just pulled him off of out and I once again thank my lucky stars that my best friend came back to me.
Chapter Twenty-Four
Larissa
I wake up to the most delicious feeling in the world, almost on the brink of orgasm, my head is thrown back and I reach one of my hands down to Jake’s head that is in between my legs. His tongue and mouth are working me over and I’m moaning my life away. Jake’s hand reaches up and covers my mouth as he nips my clit as I come on a cry.
Jake gently brings me down from my high, my legs a trembling mess.
